I used all new images and was able to present many images that had never been seen before. The changes are significant enough to label it a completely new book by the Copyright Office. I've kept the cover because it is iconic Washington. The back cover was changed for one of my favorite views of the WWII Memorial in the evening.

This is the first book to have the Amerian Disabled Veterans Memorial below

Colonel William Webber of the Korean War Memorial Foundation was able to negotiate permission to finally make some images of the Korean Memorial. I am very pleased!
